Transmission 3306

Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote one of the all-time great songs! I Heard It Through The Grapevine made it to the top of the charts and has been covered by hundreds of artists since it's 1968 debut.

Today's transmission of RFW squeezes every drop of juice we can get out of renditions by Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & The Pips (Remixed), Bill Frissell, CCR and The Slits. From there we sample rare vintage Black Grape and Moby Grape straight off The Vines with Adrian Belew and Cream and get drunk with a Foghat Chateau Lafite '59 Boogie. (Hic-up!)

Transmission 3206

On today's transmission ofRFW, we take a dark, spastic, disjointed and perverted journey into the multi-faceted musical output of Mike Patton. This twisting and turning thrill ride includes an aural barrage fromThe Dillinger Escape Plan, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Love Age, Tomahawk, Moonchild and Fantomas. Not for the weak at heart!

Transmission 3106

I love the fact that Rock and Roll has it's own language! Bip Bop Bip, Biff Bang Pow and A Wop Bop A Loo Lop A Lop Bam Boo need no translation. Today's rockin' edition is bursting at the seams with music from Litttle Richard, The Creation, Don Covay and Mott The Hoople. We then enter outer space with a Mushroom suite filled with Joe Cocker and Toots and the Maytals and alien soundscapes from Radio Head, David Bowie and Harry Nilsson. Far out!

Jimmy, Robert, John andBonzowere the quintessential band. Sex and drugs were prominent along with satanism, mysticism, misogyny and mystery, but they were all secondary to the music. Even on a bad night, Zeppelin was the best live show anywhere - hands down!

Today's edition ofRFW gets deep into the Wohlman Live Concert Archives for some choice live Plant, Page, The Yardbirds and The New Yardbirds! We also dip into a bit of Bonham drumming and John Paul Jones bass bashing!

Radio Free Wohlman does not condone drug use of any kind. But today's transmission got very stony(knock, knock, knock!)Peter Tosh tells us to Legalize It - that even judges smoke it. (Hey it's Dave man let me in!)Rita Marley teaches Smokey and his classmates about Sensimilia and Sameti lights up a Big Fat Brother Joint of High Fidelity's ChebaCheba. (Dave's not here man!)Joe Cocker took the entire party out to A Child's Garden Of Grass to listen to some tunes and get stoned with the Black Crowes while Chris Rush and Barry Levington rolled a kilo with the Sunday Times and ended up seeing Pot Head Pixies in a Flying Teapot from the Planet Gong!(No I'm Dave!) Do we have any Oreo's?

The warden had a party in the county jail......The Big House is not a place that most of us will ever visit, but in this edition of RFW life on the inside is described in desperate musical detail by Eric Burdon and Faces, while 10cc loads up with Rubber Bullets. We also check out new music from Scotland with Aereogramme, meet the Disco King with David Bowie and visit The Waitresses in Akron, Ohio. Rounding things out we jam to Terry Reid, Donovan, and Yoko Ono!

HAL10 - THE NOTEBOOK SESSION

I keep a notebook to write down ideas for songs, sets, segues, etc.(how retro). I do not always have time to play every song I have considered for a show and over the weeks the unused tune list increases in size and potential. Today's transmission feeds off that list and proves that there is nothing sloppy about seconds.

The Night Sun created the perfect back light for this edition of RFW which Comes Downwith Lemon Jelly, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Kin Ping Meh. We go back to basic rock and roll with Barry and The Remains and The Beatles and sit in the back seat with Beatle Paul, Crabby Appleton, Brian Wilson and Big Star. And for the that needed crunch factor you'll find The Sex Pistols,PIL, The Stones, Peter Hamill and Howlin' Wolf!

Whatever you do, think twice before you mail yourself in a crate as a surprise Gift to your estranged lover. This is the moral of one of the many stories in today's edition of Radio Free Wohlman. We also hear the tale tales of Tweeterand The Monkey Man and Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar! And for added padding, The Barbarian with a Double Barrel braves an Idiot Wind to improve his Private Life while rocking out to A Fast Driving Rave Up!

"Then she sank down to her knees, grasped the cutter by both handles, took a deep breath, and plunged the long blade through the middle of the package, through the masking tape, through the cardboard, through the cushioning and (thud) right through the center of Waldo Jeffers head, which split slightly and caused little rhythmic arcs of red to pulsate gently in the morning sun".

HAL9 -THE RFW RECORD PARTY

Ever since I was a very young kid, dancing with my older sister and her girfriends to her stacks of 45's, I have been addicted to vinyl.

Here you see yours truly posing in The Wohlman Vinyl Archives.

The only thing Phil Manzanera's Enotonic Bible Black was missing was Starless, so Robert Fripp and his Crimson Red partners added it to the mix while Vernon Reid and Yohimbe Brothers ask the Quicksilver questions Who Are You? and Who Do You Love?

When recently updating the Radio Free Wohlman blog, I noticed on the neo-counter that I had a visiting listener from China. One out of 1,306,313,812 is not bad, so to welcome the new Chinese member of the family and to celebrate the true world-wide reach of RFW, we take a musical journey to this far-away land.

Along for the trip we have The Tights, The Dead and Electric Sandwich. My good buddy Greg Kihn is hangin' out in Chinatown with Thin Lizzy and The Move. Miles Davis and Johnny Thunders let their heavenly presence be known and Red Rockers, Kenny Wan and Patti Smith end things in a Chinese frame of mind.

Some Velvet Morning Kate Moss, Grace Slick and Nora Jones were all together singing a Gris-Gris boogie a la John Lee. They fell silently with Chis Squire and Sucker punched a Peeping Tom. Served him right to suffer the blues man mutters as Terje Rypdal rides a Carouselambra made of Led until the end was near. Was it a dream?
